The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz is analysed especially for the case, when the signs of the two couplings $\bar{c}$ and $\tilde{c}$ differ. For the conformally invariant model ($\bar{c}=\tilde{c}$) we have calculated heat capacity and magnetic susceptibility at low temperature. In the isotropic limit our analysis is carried out further and susceptibilities are calculated near phase transition lines (at $T=0$).22 pages, LaTeX, uses ioplppt.sty and PicTeX macrosHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGround State Structure and Low Temperature Behaviour of an Integrable Chain with Alternating Spinstext
